Steam Autumn Sale 2017

The Steam Autumn Sale is now live, offering an enormous nuimber of discounts that put most console Black Friday offerings to shame. Entire franchises are on sale, including collections for theFallout,Sniper Elite, andResident Evil. Here’s some of the best game deals available during the Steam Autumn Sale:

Rockstar Warehouse Sale

Rockstar are offeringa chunky 40% off games gear and collectibles in the Rockstar Warehouse until November 27. The deal includes all games available in the Rockstar library except for LA Noire on the PS4. Xbox One and Nintendo Switch and, unsurprisingly, preorders for Red Dead Redemption 2. If you snag a copy of GTA V this weekend, you'll get $1.25m to spend in GTA Online, which will give you a nice boost to start.

What do good PC gaming deal look like on Black Friday?

This probably seems like a silly question, but don't forget PC gamers are totally spoiled for choice when it comes to discounts pretty much all year round, so whereas a few bucks off an AAA game might sound good to a console owner, most of us would roll over and go back to sleep for anything less than a full series collection.

The basic rule we have is that if it's a triple-A game that didn't sell well or it's an indie title, you're going to see a better deal in the next Steam sale, or it's going to be in a Humble collection before long. Take a good look at your backlog (like the dozen or more Steam sale games you haven't played yet) and think about whether you feel like a particular Black Friday PC gaming deal makes sense.
